    Optical cable polarity

    Hi, I have recently purchased an MSB Premier, a really great DAC..Prior to this I have never used an optical cable in my system and noticed what I believe to be polarity labels, with 'A and B' on each side of cable.

    Mola Mola Tambaqui question

    I'm getting a good deal on one. I currently have the Holo Audio May KTE. To be honest, I think the May is excellent, and coming from the Chord TT2, it really is a no-contest in terms of realism and 3d soundstage that the May provides.

    In-wall cable question

    I've been thinking of upgrading the in-wall cable I am running to my system. I read a lot of people use about Oyaide. Are they mainly talking about the Oyaide EE F-S 2.0 V2? What about Furutech bulk cable like the FP-S55N or DPS 4.1 ? Are they not well suited for in-wall applications? Cheers
